    Primary Function
    to contain or act as a barrier to liquids and vapors
    Typical values of geomembrane permeability are in the range of 1 x 10^-12 to 1 x 10^-15 m/s.
    Applications
    Geomembranes have a wide range of applications, including liquid containment, water
    conveyance, solid-material containment, and more. They're used in environmental,
    geotechnical, hydraulic, transportation, and private development projects.
    Service Life

    30 YEARS - 100 YEARS

    Typical Service Life For Geomembranes


    of Geomembrane specifically designed for
    buried applications.

    Note: A thicker material extends the anticipated service life.

    Geomembrane Seams
    One critical aspect of geomembrane
    installation that can affect its overall
    performance is the integrity of their
    seams, which are the joints created
    when two or more sheets of
    geomembrane material are welded
    or bonded together.

    There are 3 common types of seams:


    1. Extrusion Seams
    2. Thermal Fusion Seams
    3. Chemical Seams
    INSTALLATION
    EQUIPMENTS
    Installation
    Equipments
    Earthmoving Equipments
    Preparing the subgrade and laying the
    geomembrane often requires earthmoving
    equipment.
    1. Excavators
    2. Compactors
    Installation
    Equipments
    Geomembrane Deployment
    Deploying large rolls of geomembrane
    requires equipment that can handle the
    material without damaging it.
    1. Spreader Bars
    2. Rollers
    Installation
    Equipments
    Seaming/Welding Equipment
    Welding equipment is essential for creating
    seams between geomembrane sheets,
    ensuring they form a continuous,
    impermeable barrier.
    1. Extrusion Welders
    2. Hot Wedge Welders
    3. Hot Air Welders
